Conflicted Clarence Thomas Countdown to Clarity Wednesday, 25 May 2011

Does Justice Clarence Thomas have a conflict of interest?

It may not please the court, but it sure looks that way. Permit me to present the evidence.

Thomas's wife earned $700,000 from uber-conservative groups that opposed health care reform. He neglected to disclose her income for 13 years -- until he got caught and submitted a slew of amended filings.

What's the honorable justice's defense? Deny and deflect. First he said his critics were "undermining" the Supreme Court. Now, apparently we're suffering from "a disease of illiteracy or laziness."

We have been waiting for 10 days to find out what conflicts Justice Thomas is bringing to our Supreme Court every day. He MUST make the financial disclosure forms he filed over a week ago public immediately. Hundreds of thousands have already joined me in calling out Conflicted Clarence Thomas, but I need your help to make sure he hears us loud and clear.

Click here to up the pressure on Clarence Thomas to do the right thing and make his newest financial disclosure forms publicly available NOW.

Clearly it's getting to him. At a speech last week in Augusta, he went so far as to call us "cynics" who are "drunk on their own opinions." The nerve of us, questioning a U.S. Supreme Court justice who has been featured in Koch promotional material -- alongside such bastions of impartiality as Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh -- for conservative political events and causes.

I expected more out of someone who sits on the most distinguished court in the land.

Click here to tell Clarence Thomas to stop trying to change the subject and release his financial disclosure forms immediately.

This "impartial" member hid $700,000 of his household income for over a decade and won't recuse himself from health care reform cases even though his wife has made boatloads of money lobbying against it. What's he hiding in his financial disclosure forms now?

I know I won't let up until he stops dodging the question. I hope I can count on having you with me.

Because it's not our behavior that's undermining the Supreme Court -- it's Justice Thomas's.

Thanks for your continued support,
Anthony

6. You should have put penis in the title. It would have gotten a better response.
Kicking for the important stuff.
